Overview

Thales has been present in the Sultanate of Oman for over 35 years and employs 135 people in the country.
The relationship between Oman and Thales dates back to the end of the 70’s when the first radio communications equipment was delivered to the Sultanate. Ever since then, Thales has been involved in a broad spectrum of activities and has partnered with a wide variety of customers including, the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC), Oman Air, the Omani Armed Forces and the Security Agencies of Oman.
Today, Thales provides its customers with technologically advanced solutions for the aerospace, transportation, defence and security domains. Early 2014, the Group inaugurated new offices in the Al Tilal Complex at the Musat Grand Mall, a decision driven by growth opportunities in the region.
